- Support material can be pretreated with acids such as HCl, HNO 3 , H 2 SO 4 , peracids or heteropoly acids and alkali base materials.
- the supported catalyst When used on a support, the supported catalyst usually comprises from about 5% to 90% by weight of the catalyst composition, with the remainder being the support material.
- Heat of the reaction for oxidation process is related to the concentration of the oxygen or extent of oxidation reaction, which ultimately affects reaction product selectivity.
- concentration of the oxygen or extent of oxidation reaction which ultimately affects reaction product selectivity.
- addition of oxygen at intermediate level maintains the yield, while having a positive impact on the amount of heat generated and removed out of the reaction zone. This results in an optimum rate of partial oxygenation or total oxidation, depending on the type of the catalyst.
- propane, carbon dioxide and other gases with higher specific heat capacity can also be used to remove heat of the reaction in order to eliminate the possibility of explosion.
- Steam in an adequate amount as a co-feed is used to promote the de-sorption of the main products of the catalytic vapor-phase oxidation of propylene, i.e., acrolein and acrylic acid. The presence of the steam with recycle gases such as carbon dioxide also increases the rate of oxygenation.
- the first stage of the reaction is performed preferably in the range of 250° C. to 450° C., more preferably 270° C. to 390° C., at a contact time between the reaction mixture and the catalyst preferably from about 0.01 second to 100 seconds, more preferably from 0.1 second to 10 seconds; and a space hourly velocity preferably from about 50 to about 50,000 h ⁇ 1 , more preferably from about 100 to 10,000 h ⁇ 1 .
- Reaction product shows a conversion of olefins in the range of preferably not less than 90 mol %, more preferably not less than 97 mol %.
- the reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 180° C.
- the two-stage operation shows a per pass reaction product yield of preferably not less than 85 mol %, more preferably not less than 88 mol %.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the two-stage process for the production of carboxylic acid according to an embodiment of the invention.
- POR can represent a Propylene Oxidation Reactor
- AOR can represent an Acrolein Oxidation Reactor
- ACE can represent Acrolein
- ACA can represent Acrylic Acid.
- a feed comprising olefin 1 (e.g., propylene) (also steam and inert diluent, e.g., N 2 , CO 2 ) and oxygen 2 is fed into oxidation reactor 3 (POR) which contains a first stage catalyst 4 (CAT-A) that converts olefin-containing (e.g., propylene) feedstock with oxygen into aldehyde, (e.g., acrolein), water and carbon dioxide.
- olefin 1 e.g., propylene
- POR oxidation reactor 3
- CAT-A first stage catalyst 4
- the effluent 5 of POR reactor 1 comprising aldehyde (e.g., ACA), (also unoxidized olefin, e.g., C 3 H 6 ; CO 2 , N 2 and H 2 O), is fed via optional heat exchanger 8 to second stage (AOR) reactor 6 containing catalyst 7 (CAT-B).
- Heat exchanger 8 allows adjustment of the temperature of the feed to second stage reactor 6 .
- the two catalysts CAT-A and CAT-B can be in one reactor in the form of a physical mixture or in alternating layer form (not shown).
- oxygen in line 9 is added to second stage reactor 6 , depending upon the process conditions, for the oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylic acid (e.g., acrolein to acrylic acid). Also, by using an appropriate reactor configuration, oxygen can be added via a multi injection system reactor, e.g., where one of the reactants (oxidant) is introduced and controlled through microporous or mesoporous materials or through a configuration of holes placed at regular or random intervals in the reactor (not shown).
- the inert gas streams 12 comprising CO 2 and N 2 from gas/liquid separation unit 11 are cycled through carbon dioxide removal unit 13 and the stream 14 from the carbon dioxide removal unit 13 is recycled through lines 20 and 22 to the feedstream 1 to the first stage reactor 3 .
- the gas streams 12 can also be recycled to first stage reactor 3 without the carbon dioxide absorption (not shown), as the catalyst 4 (CAT-A) in reactor 3 is not affected by the presence of carbon dioxide.
- Co-feed of carbon dioxide can also help in controlling the extent of exothermic heat of the reaction.
- Liquid stream 15 from separator unit 11 is fed to distillation unit 16 where carboxylic acid (e.g., acrylic acid) 17 is separated from water 18 , and water 18 can be recycled back to first stage reactor unit 3 via lines 19 , 20 and 22 .
- Gases and water in streams 14 and 19 can be combined into stream 20 and partially purged in purge unit 21 to control the build-up of gases before being conveyed to first stage reactor unit 3 .
- Outlet gas of the second (II) stage reactor was conveyed to a condenser where acrylic acid was collected in the form of aqueous solution using water containing polymerization inhibitor, hydroquinone.
- the product showed almost complete conversion of propylene with a 90% yield to acrylic acid. Overall ⁇ 4 ⁇ T of the reaction was observed. Reaction was continued over a period of 8000 hours without any sign of deactivation of catalysts.
